What are Autopilot Defaults?
Autopilot Defaults are the saved Autopilot configuration for a specific Autopilot hiring step of a specific job. You can easily apply this Autopilot configuration to all future applicants who apply for this job.
You must set up separate Autopilot Defaults for both the Phone Screen and Interview hiring steps for each job you have. Autopilot Defaults only apply to the hiring step you are configuring for that specific job.
How do I create Autopilot Defaults?
The easiest way to set up your first Autopilot Default is when you begin Autopilot for your next applicant.
1. Once an applicant reaches an Autopilot hiring step, click the Begin Autopilot button on your Applicants page.
2. In the Begin Autopilot drawer, select the type of interview: In Person, Phone, or Video.
3. Enter In Person, Phone, or Video details in the field below: a physical address, a phone number, or a video link for the interview.
4. Select how long the Interview will last for from the drop-down menu.
5. Select an Interviewer from the drop-down menu.
If the interviewer you want to select is not listed, advise them to connect their calendar to CareerPlug.
6. Set the expiration date for the interview link – or how long the applicant will have to schedule the interview using the link provided – using the Can be scheduled up to drop-down menu.
7. Turn on the toggle in the bottom left corner of the drawer.
8. Click the Launch button to begin Autopilot for the current applicant and save your choices as the Autopilot Default for this job's current Autopilot hiring step.
How do I use Autopilot Defaults?
The next time you begin Autopilot for an applicant, your Autopilot Defaults will prefill all necessary interview scheduling details — just click the Launch button!
How do I override Autopilot Defaults?
To override Autopilot Defaults, toggle off your Autopilot Defaults and edit any fields or drop-downs before clicking Launch.
Overriding Autopilot Defaults affects only this particular instance of Autopilot. It will not impact using these Autopilot Defaults for future applicants.
How do I edit a job's Autopilot Defaults?
Whether editing an open job or creating a new one, once you reach the Hiring Settings tab, you can set your Autopilot Defaults by expanding either option using the drop-down arrow to the right.
Once you finish configuring your Autopilot Defaults, click the Update Job Post button to save your changes.
